Igor Danchenko is on trial, but so is the FBI.
That is the theme of Russiagate special counsel John Durham’s prosecution of Danchenko, heading into its third day of trial in Alexandria, Va., federal court.
Danchenko is charged with five counts of lying to the FBI about two of his sources for what became the infamous “Steele dossier” — a compilation of faux intelligence reports, mainly authored by former British spy Christopher Steele, that portrayed the GOP’s then-presidential candidate, Donald Trump, as a clandestine agent of Russia.
Danchenko was Steele’s principal source. In essence, Durham accuses him of (a) concealing from the FBI that he was getting some information about the Trump campaign from Clinton political ally Charles Dolan and (b) falsely claiming he received explosive information from Sergei Millian, a Belarusian American tangentially associated with Trump, alleging the GOP candidate was in a “conspiracy of cooperation” with the Kremlin.

Danchenko was a Russian operative. The FBI said so themselves. Before they put him on their payroll.
What about the British Americans consultant who supposedly did a lot of the groundwork in Russia?
Are they even trying to convict any of these people? It seems like the guy got acquitted today and they didn’t even try.
what a sad Show Trial
Danchenko didn't lie TO the FBI - he lied FOR the FBI.
Exactly. Seems to me that his being acquitted is worse for the FBI than if he had been convicted, since if he didn’t lie to the FBI then it logically follows that the FBI knew full well that the information was false, and used it to frame Trump anyway. It’s the same reason I think liberal dems would be better off if they agreed that the 2020 election was stolen, because the alternative is to admit what dumbasses they were for electing Biden.
“Proof” and “evidence” don’t mean jack sh*t in a third world banana republic, fascist police state.
Didn’t I just read that Danchenko was ACQUITTED?

BINGO!!! BINGO!!! BINGO!!!! YES!!! He lied FOR the FBI!!
He was.
President Trump had Presidential power to clean out the offending FBI and he lacked the will to do so. He thought he could make a deal.
He chose not to fight, and they beat the hell out of him and continue to do so day and night.
But Trump used the F word.
